Wikimedia Conference 2015/Overview Eligibility Statuses

Please check the overview of eligibility statuses carefully before registering.
The eligibility criteria for participating in the Wikimedia Conference 2015 have been aligned to the Affiliates’ Agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation. Please note that the criteria have changed compared to last year. Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups must have shown signs of recent activity AND be up-to-date on their reporting by the eligibility deadline (February 28). Moreover, affiliates need to have been officially recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation before February 01, 2015. If you are not yet eligible, we recommend you to catch up with the aforementioned.

Please note that different groups have been determined:

Group 1: representatives of chapters, thematic organizations or user groups, which included WMCON15 funding in annual/project plan and arrange and pay for their travel/accommodation themselves.

Group 2: representatives of chapters, thematic organizations or user groups, which have not included WMCON15 funding in annual/project plan and need funding. WMF will arrange the travel and WMDE will do the hotel booking.

Note that all organizations receiving APG funding will be in Group 1, as those organizations have the option to move funding from other areas of their budget to attend the conference, even if they have not set aside funds specifically for the conference.

Further instructions and information will be given in the registration form.
